Can this take numpy arrays of floats ?

Would certainly be useful for interop, and can be useful for interop.

[EDIT] - with a numpy array you can also grab it's shape, which means you wouldn't need to pass in the parameter that looks like '2f4f' in the 03_blending example [/EDIT]

# format is:
# x, y,
# r, g, b

[
    1.0, 0.0,
    1.0, 0.0, 0.0,

    -0.5, 0.86,
    0.0, 1.0, 0.0,

    -0.5, -0.86,
    0.0, 0.0, 1.0
]

# this would be:

np.array([
    [
        [1.0, 0.0],
        [1.0, 0.0, 0.0]
    ],
    [
        [-0.5, 0.86],
        [0.0, 1.0, 0.0]
    ],
    [
        [-0.5, -0.86,],
        [0.0, 0.0, 1.0]
    ]
]

The format parameter is already useless since the dimension and type of the vertex attributes can be queried runtime.

I am not planning to remove it because:

• thrown errors are more programmer-friendly
• Later will have a support for padding 3f4x4f (3 float, 4 bytes ignored, 4 floats)

If there would be stronger cons I will definitely remove it.

Solving #72 will fix the numpy related issue.
